Research on incentive mechanism integrated trust management for P2P networks by HU Jian-li1, ZHOU Bin2, WU Quan-yuan2

“…An important challenge regarding peers’ trust valuation in peer-to-peer（P2P） systems was how to cope with such issues as dishonest feedbacks from malicious peers,collusions and complicatedly strategic frauds to the trust model itself,which could not be effectively tackled by the existing solutions.Thus,an incentive mechanism integrated trust management model for P2P networks,（IMTM） was proposed,to quantify and evaluate the trustworthiness of peers.Moreover,the related definitions and distributed implementation strategies of IMTM was also given.In IMTM,the recommendation credibility,composed of three factors,including the similarity characteristics,the altering scope of interaction experiences and the time fading feature of trust when interacting,was introduced to portray the extent to which the trustor trusted another recommender’s recommendations.Besides,the trusted service persistent intensity was imported to this model to promote peers to provide high-quality services to others continuously,and the risk mechanism was used to improve the sensitivity of this model.Additionally,based on the trust model,an adaptive reputation based incentive mechanism was presented.Through this mechanism,trusted peers could migrate to the centric position,while untrusted peers to the edge of the topology,incenting peers to provide more high-quality services in order to get more return on services.Theoretical analyses and experimental results demonstrate that IMTM has advantages in combating such malicious behaviors as the dishonest recommendations from malicious peers,collusions and the complicatedly strategic attacks to the trust model itself over the existing models,and show more adaptability,sensitivity and effectiveness.…”

Survey of key management schemes for cluster networks by Jun LIU, Lin YUAN, Zhishang FENG

“…With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and communication network technology, increasing attention has been paid to cluster intelligence.Cluster network is an important part of cluster intelligence, the security of information interaction has attracted much attention, and cluster key management has become a research hotspot in network information security.In recent years, many cluster key management schemes have been proposed, which provide effective solutions for information security interaction of complex cluster network systems.The existing cluster key management schemes were analyzed and summarized, and the future research direction and application scenarios were discussed.The typical three-layer cluster network model was introduced, including the control layer, cluster head layer and node layer.The characteristics of cluster network were summarized, such as large number and scale, dynamic topology change, and hierarchical cluster heterogeneity.According to the key management strategy and cluster networking scenarios, the cluster key management process before and after the network deployment was summarized.The key management evaluation index was analyzed from the aspects of security, efficiency, and flexibility.Then, three key management schemes including pre-distribution management, healing management and dynamic management were discussed.Their basic ideas, advantages and disadvantages were analyzed, and their performance from the aspects of techniques, security, flexibility, and efficiency was compared.Besides, the research hotspots related to cluster key management were prospected from cross-domain heterogeneity, cluster authentication, healing mechanism, and technology fusion.The security function of cluster key management in future application scenarios such as ubiquitous IoT, all-domain operation, and smart city was discussed.…”
